If we win every remaining game this season 2017 we will be on the same games lost as 2016 !!

It seems a bit unlikely. We have some very tough games coming up, but the comp is not strong this year so you never know.

On the GWS game, the CD stats are interesting. Papley was best on ground (and in career best form at the moment), followed by Franklin, which all makes sense to me. But I'm quite surprised that they rated Hannebery very slightly above Kieran Jack. (I thought Jack was quite good, and Hannebery quite poor).

Great questions! And timely as I return to work today and need to refresh the data crunching skills, so I'll give it a go. But first my related question: how many drawn games have there been with not just the same total score, but the same number of goals and behinds?

1. How many drawn games have there been?

156.

2. Which club has been involved in the greatest number of drawn games?

Essendon I think, with 35.

3. Which two clubs have been involved in the most draws with each other? (Two correct answers)

Essendon v Geelong and Carlton v South Melbourne (4 each).

4. Which current club has played the most games since their last draw?

I'm guessing Adelaide, since they have drawn only once in round 14, 1994.

5. GWS has played two draws in a row. How many times has this happened in the same season?

Three. Carlton in rounds 1 and 2 1911, Carlton in rounds 4 and 5 1921 and GWS in rounds 15 and 16 2017.

A few interesting facts about these sequences:
* For the first four South Melbourne-Carlton draws, these were South Melbourne's only drawn games in that period.
* Carlton's last three drawn games have been with Essendon (and four out of the last five).

Jumping the gun a bit on this stat, but if AJ plays in seniors again then it will be over 5 years between games. I thought that this would go pretty close to being the longest time between games, but it turns out it's not even in the top 10! It would in fact be the 12th longest, and this is unlikely to change as the 11th is 8 yrs, 82 days.

Yeah but I'm not sure you should include so if those "records" as the VFA was pretty big at the turn of last century & a lot of those lengthy gaps between games were due to either crossing from the VFL to the VFA or WWI interrupted careers

If he does make it back, he would be the record holder among current players by a long way.

This was my first ever game I attended. Thanks Dad, for introducing me to a lifetime of pleasure and pain.
